Evaluation of performance of two SARS-CoV-2 Rapid whole-blood finger-stick IgM-IgGCombined Antibody Tests 2020-05-27 .txt text/plain 2640 174 61 In response to the growing COVID-19 pandemic, Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) have been developed to detect specific antibodies, IgG and IgM, to SARS-CoV-2 virus in human whole blood. Methods RT-PCR testing of SARS-Cov-2 was performed from nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected in adult patients visiting the infectious disease department at the hospital (Orleans, France). Fingertip whole blood samples taken at different time points after onset of the disease were tested with RDTs. The specificity and sensitivity of the rapid test kits compared to test of reference (RT-PCR) were calculated. The SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM antibody test kits, COVID-PRESTO ® and COVID-DUO ® , are 137 RDT test, the IgM were the first antibodies to be detected and were systematically present in 209 the few positive patients with an onset of symptoms from 0 to 5 days ago (n=2 in COVID-210 PRESTO ® population; n=5 in COVID-DUO ® ).
